She’s Sick So Who Is Going To Feed Us? Day 21 of 30 days of 30 paintings.
We have colds at our house. We both left work early to rest. The cats were waiting for food and didn’t get it right away so I made a little painting with them in mind.
I worked on a larger painting tonight for a little while, but feel I need to go slowly and thoughtfully to make it the best I can.
He’s All That, 20 of 30 paintings in 30 days.
Just a quickie as I have had to work all day. Lighting was not great for photographing. Wish I could have watched the inauguration.
But maybe a poppy painting tomorrow.
Who’s He, What’s He? by Susan Medyn, Day 16 of 30 days of paintings.
I was up at 6 AM to get to work from 9 to 6. I just had an hour break so was able to complete a little creature. We have Poetry Reading tonight at Gallery 55 in Natick, MA and David will be reading Tam O’Shanter one of my favorites from Robert Burns. When we went to Ayr, Scotland, I saw quite a sight, a large heron scooping up a frog and eating it whole (of course) underneath the bridge that Ole Tam escaped over. I do love Burns, and when I can’t sleep and David reads poetry to me, it is one of the most wonderful gifts. I settle into the words and can barely stay awake. Of course poetry group conflicts with South Coast’s Artists monthly meeting and that presents scheduling challenges.
This little Who’s He What’s He has quite the funny expression. Maybe he has been listening to the poetry in my head.
So it is day 16 of Leslie Saeta’s painting challenge and I am up to date. It has been a month of discovery and play and I am thrilled I am pushing the boundaries of my work.
This little guy is for sale for $20. He is a 2 1/2″ by 3 1/2″.
WATCHING YOU!, 30 PAINTINGS IN 30 DAYS, DAY 3
This leopard was just woken from his nap and is looking at you. The bushes are hiding snakes and the lizard is climbing the tree.
This is my 3rd in a month long project of 30 paintings in 30 days started by Leslie Saeta. I continue to make paintings influenced by the style of Henri Rousseau. I have 3 large ones and a small one inked in that I am hoping to paint during over the month of January plus several ideas percolating in my head.
This painting is 5 by 7 and is Ink and Watercolor on Aqua Board that I varnish and place in a shadow box. SOLD
Flaubert’s Stroll
Flaubert’s Stroll
Flaubert is taking a stroll through the jungle looking for someone to play with. He is a young elephant who has made friends with the kind giraffe and the rather raunchous leopard. He has a lighter and bluer sky in his background than this photo depicts. Night photography did not capture this as well as I would have liked.
Flaubert would be happy to come to your home for the holidays. He is 5″ by 7″ and framed in an oak and black shadow box. There are finely ground mica chips in much of the paint so this painting glows in the most delightful way. This is an ink and watercolor painting on aqua board that is varnished so that one doesn’t need glass to protect it.
This painting is for sale for $250 plus shipping.

The Curious Jungle, or Paws For Reflection
Drawing inked in.
Painting in Process.
Curious Creature or Pause for Reflection
- Framed
I have been working on this piece, The Curious Jungle, or Paws for Reflection, for the past several days. I wanted to make a painting with a panther in a dense landscape. I am continuing to use ink and watercolor on Aqua Board and have really enjoyed looking through my books by Henri Rousseau while I have been working on this piece.
These works are getting away from the idea of the baseline and the register as I am mixing the flora and fauna together. I used several luminescent watercolors in this painting and one notices a reflective quality to it. It is nice to be able to varnish these works on board instead of framing them under glass. There is something special about getting so close to it.
This painting is 8″ by 10″ and framed in a black shadow box with a light maple exterior. This painting is for sale for $425.
If you would like to see it framed please email me at susanmedyn@cox.net.
Flower Power with a little help from my friends.
Flower Power
I have been reworking this painting with some advice from Don Cadoret, Kathrine Lovell, and David Formanek and here it is! I found a lovely wooden shadow box to frame it in and it really makes this work pop out. I am busily trying to finish several Henri Rousseau influenced paintings for The Art Stable Gallery Westport’s Holiday Open House on Sunday November 18th from 2-5PM.
All 8 artists will be present with lots of new work so this will be a great afternoon to stop on by.
This is a 6″ by 6″ Ink and Watercolor on Aqua Board and is for sale for $200.00 framed in a shadow box.
Kind of knocks my socks off.
Sold.
